These records were made available, name indexed, in April 2009 by Ancestry.ca. If LAC were interested in being helpful to researchers, rather than just announcing the availability of reel images on their site, they would surely have made the availability of a name indexed version known in their announcement.

I agree. It is indeed odd that LAC does not opublicize the fact that it has a contractual agreement with Ancestry. By not drawing attention to the nominal indexes on Ancestry to the Border Entry records and other records (First World War "circumstances of death" and "burial registers", for example), LAC does a disfavour to researchers and is clearly not taking full advantage of its relationship with Ancestry. I have to ask, why not?
